Perdomo lot 23: Finally a Churchill

I finally made time to smoke a Churchill and you know what ? Im still smoking it. On appearance this stick had a veiny Milk chocolate wrapper that was as chewy and gummy ad them come. A dry draw revealed dry grass and raisen flavors. I warmed it up and off we went.

The first draw gave me alot of pepper on the bck of the throatand a bitter roasted coffee with a hint of Raisen nutty notes. It was satly but not hot. That was pretty much it for the whole stick. The flavors ranged from muddled to distinct but never changed or really developed. The burn was fine with a few touch ups necessary producing a light grey ash. It was a fine cigar but didn't knock my socks off. I think the price is fairfor the smoking exerience at $5.30 but after an hour f smokin I did get bored with the stick.

Let me see that appearance can be decieving. The cigar look like a power house but it was actually quite mellow, a fine cigar or the morning or after an early lunch. However, if you just had meat and potatoes for dinner you may want something with a bit more kick to it.

Certainly was not a bad cigar, just a bit flat for my taste but at the price I'm not complaining.
